Summary

External spool mount for flashforge dreamer printer.

Instructions

This design uses a (1) 5-6" long 1/2"-13 bolt (vary length depending on spool size) and (1) 1/2"-13 nut inside the handle to hold the spool.

Drill 1/2" hole in back plastic to feed bolt through the case. I found flat bottom wood drill bit works best.

Case mount uses (3) #6-32 2" long countersunk bolts and (3) standard hex nuts. I added aluminum stiffener washer in the photos, but my final design is a larger OD and does not need the stiffener.

Match drill (3) #6 case mount holes by marking hole pattern from your printed parts.

Handle uses (3) #6 1" lg countersunk screws

The feed through uses a parker #111 O-ring (Mcmaster P/N: 9452K23) as the retention mechanism. The design allows you to feed the existing teflon tubing through the part for a nice transition into the printer. A flat head screwdriver will help getting the o-rings onto the part.
